BookMark! 'Mwikali and the Forbidden Mask'

We've loved Shiko Nguru's parenting content for years! Back when she had the Green Calabash Youtube Channel and now as a popular Instagrammer. She's now added another feather to her cap as an author with her debut kids' novel Mwikali and the Forbidden Mask.

12-year-old Mwikali is moving to a new school in Nairobi and just wants life to be normal. But when she meets Soni, Odwar and Xirsi who reveal that she is descended from an ancient bloodline of legendary Kenyan warriors, all hope of a normal life fades.

Now, with an array of malign forces massing, Mwikali must delve deep into the past to discover her ancestry, learn to harness her extraordinary powers, and enter a race against time to defeat a village elder who has turned to dark magic in an effort to gain ultimate power.

A fantasy adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat right to the moment of its breath-taking conclusion!

In her Instagram promo video, Shiko says that Mwikali and the Forbidden Mask is inspired by her love of East African mythology.
